A French dramatist, born in Paris, 1823; died there, Oct. 16, 1877. In collaboration with others he supplied the French stage with a great number of dramas and comedies, some of which met with much favor, especially "Bohemian Life" (1848, with Murger); "The Maids of Marble" (1853, with Thiboust), a counterpart to Dumas's "La Dame aux Camelias"; and "The Spurious Men of Honor" (1856, with Capendu), a scathing satire and his masterpiece.
